Trying to watch the iPhone 4s video and the iCloud video in fullscreen is not displaying correctly. It simply puts the page in fullscreen and the video plays behind the text and other objects.

And has the Apple Website been hacked? By looking at WhoIS it looks like it!
It looks like failure on Akamai's CDN.

I was wrong, this isn't a hack, and has been around for a while, it's just listing all domains with "apple.com" in them, see: http://superuser.com/questions/37954/how-to-use-command-line-whois-for-spam-infected-domains-like-apple-com
